In Windowpanes
That each dull day and each despairing act
Builds up the crags from which the spirit leaps.'
- Phillip Larkin
I
Framed in grey the drab light
spills from white expanse;
reaches over the goings of many,
their eyes swimming in conformity,
heels pounding the firmament
to somewhere gone meandering,
catching a sideways smirk.
Feeling the midday confusion,
striding along with purpose,
the many among the few notice
where everyones direction points --

man and his dog
Man and his dog
He awoke under the bed it had been his birthday
drinking champagne, eating Danish pastry, and smoking Havana cigars
He walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge took out
a beer, which he thirstily drank while wondering why
everything was so quiet
The maid had been in when he slept and everything was in order; when did the guests leave, or had he partied with his teddy bear, being lonely since his dog died
Looking out of the window he saw many cars, they had
no drivers and some had open doors as abandoned in haste, but what had...

They always told me,
It’s hard to find what you don’t know you’re looking for
But overtime I’ve realized it’s much harder to find what’s hidden inside of yourself.
That moment when your heart is troubled with all the worries of the uncertain future.
Wondering what you’d do with your life, or whether you’re doing the right thing.
It gets even harder when you’re back at home, at night, in your room, doors closed and you’re all alone—far away from your friends and the voices start pouring in:- “but what are you doing with your life?”, “What if today where...

the tunnel
like the trains stationed- most days, am i-and a good portion of humankind; numb and void of feeling are far from the same; my eyes still water like drizzle from the rain....
expectations vary-the higher the floor-the more scary; some will be understanding-some will not as to why one doesn't aim for an "acceptable" "score"....
heart still drops at the thought of "death"; that's indeed when things are perceived as nothing left; and it's scary-very scary if that be...

"heaven" and "earth"
"heaven".... projected to only be one version; like earth-one's taught to believe that few are deserving;
like trying to maintain a certain gpa-for a spiritual realm or else you may be dismissed away from the "pearly gates"
measured by more than just your effort as a "good" person; you just may come up short-for not conforming to scripted verses written in days worsen than this....
death was/is but a millisecond-
like the heart beat of a deer once whole-to on a wall headless.... and...

Just The Tip
(Ten thousand times)
_______________________
"We should talk about this"
"We've talked enough. It's time to heal"
"How?"
"I have an idea"

"Paring knives? You're stabbing me?"
"Not exactly. You get one"
"A knife fight?"
"No. We're going to stick each other with just the tips. See who
flinches the worst. Sit down...

Escape
You told me I needed to change, something was wrong with my brain. So i kept bending and bending, but you still called me crazy, and honestly I was starting to feel like maybe I wasn’t sane.
But no matter how much I changed, it was never enough. You wanted me to break. Years spent walking on egg shells, terrified to make a simple mistake, all the sleepless nights I lied awake, filled with heartache wondering how much more could I take?
And when you’d feel me pulling away, you always knew exactly what to say in order to make me stay. So I’d tell myself everything will...

chapter 31
chapter 31 likely won't hit any different than the prior; there's only less desire to aspire to be a half decent "writer";
grey is the color of the lense once rose; a soul without a quest for gold but to be/feel whole-
there's a hallway full of glass doors -one's on the outside looking in; the exit's straight ahead that's not seen through-just darkness
what rooms could be explored? could the earth shift after or before?
this feels...

the purge of it all....
perspectives, like fireflies in the night; it's all clear despite a darken sky-while deceiving during skies while bright;
i suppose there's something "sexy" about "fucking pass exhaustion", right;
yeah.... there is, in a twisted kind of way; just not like this....
And that's the light; that's truth to life; soul, followed by body and mind....
the purge of it all.... how it "hurts so good";
to be "alive".... ...
